Description

Hello, documentation states that I should try to get help here.
I'm a beginner to self-hosting Overleaf due to needing multiple collaborators; I'm already including new users, but I don't know how to see them.

Documentation doesn't help because for some reason it assumes you want to delete users right away. This is what Admin > Manager Users show:

As a side note, I cannot manage to link my email server (hosted somewhere else than the Overleaf instance), and the docs say it needs to be reachable by Docker, which I assume that's the main issue.

Research direction

Start with the linked Admin > Manage Users documentation, especially the deleting-users section, and compare it with the reporter’s question about viewing existing users. Also read the linked Overleaf Toolkit email delivery page to separate the email-server concern from the user-management documentation gap. Done means the relevant user-viewing workflow and external email-server requirement are clearly documented.
